Even for students, clarity of communication is important. “not pad” is not the same thing as “Notepad++”
and it is bringing me the github page
Assuming you mean that it took you to https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/ , then you should see a section on the right of the main page like:
Click on the “Latest” to go to the most recent release (currently, https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/releases/tag/v8.7.8) , and from there, click on thenpp.8.7.8.Installer.x64.exe(future readers: the number will change to match the most recent version) if you are on a normal 64-bit windows machine (most are 64-bit nowadays)
The other way of getting Notepad++, instead of going through GitHub, is to go to the application’s official website and the “Downloads” page: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/
From there, you can either go to the top link (which is currently v8.7.8), or if you are more conservative, scroll down to the one that says “stable”):
From one of those pages, click on the topmost “Installer” link to download the installer for the 64-bit Notepad++ (which again is most likely what you need).
